Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for automatic gain control based on signal spectrum sensing. Spectral sensing techniques may be employed to detect the presence or absence of interference and also determine a frequency location of the interference and power level estimates of a desired signal. The method includes running an algorithm to measure the energy periodically to track the changes as blockers that were not prominent while experiencing deep fade and those that will affect performance when it is out of the deep fade. The method enables predicting a level of degradation for various front-end settings and enables selection of an optimum setting. In an embodiment, the spectral sensing may be performed either in analog domain using narrowband tunable filters. In an embodiment, the spectral sensing may be performed digitally using Fast fourier transform (FFT), Goertzel algorithm, or power detection techniques.

Abstract: The method and system for extending data limit of a mono-colored barcode is disclosed. The method divides the data into data chunks and assigns a unique color value to individual data chunks. Further the method encodes the data chunks based on the symbology. Then the method multiplexes the encoded data chunks to create a resultant image that contains all the encoded data or barcode. In the decoding process, the barcode reader captures the image and enhances the quality for data extraction. Then the de-multiplexer separates the enhanced image into individual mono colored barcodes. Further, the decoder decodes each individual barcodes into data chunks. Finally, the method merges the data chunks to obtain original barcode data.
